day and night
When Kid 1 is like: "No kisses. No hugs. No nose boops. Bye, don't touch me. I'm gonna shoot a cannon at you."
and Kid 2 is like: "Mama come here, I need to smooch you before you go. Are you sad? Do you want huggies?"
goddammit, I feel like an awful parent, but it is HARD not to have a favorite.
...that being said, there is something kind of nicely unworrying about a kid of whom you say to teachers, "Yes, he is irrepressible. We've tried to repress him, but it just doesn't take." Whereas with Kid 2, it's more like "please be careful of our extremely sensitive flower."
